HOROSCOPES

What kind of day will today be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Thursday, August 23, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

This is not a boring day! You might meet a real character - probably a female - or perhaps a friend might say or do something that really amazes you! Get ready.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Relationships with parents, bosses and VIPs are unpredictable today. (You might not get the reception you hoped for.) If you are offended or troubled, don't quit your day job. Just wait.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Travel plans will be delayed, canceled or changed today. Likewise, schedules for universities and colleges also might be subject to change. Sigh, it's a crapshoot.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Double-check banking details and anything to do with inheritances, shared property and insurance issues today, because sudden changes might take place. Don't drop the ball.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

A partner or close friend might do something today that catches you off guard. Despite what others might think, you don't like surprises - at least, not of your own making.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Computer crashes, staff shortages, power outages and fire drills are just some things that will create some glitches and detours at work today. Give yourself extra time to cope with the unexpected.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Social plans might be canceled. Guard against sports accidents. Romance will be stressed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Small appliances or minor breakages might occur today. Someone unexpected might knock at your door. Today is unpredictable, but friends are supportive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Pay attention to everything you do today to avoid accidents. Furthermore, count to three before you speak. Be smart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Guard your possessions against loss, theft or damage today. Meanwhile, keep your eyes open, because you might find money - or you might lose money!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Today the Moon is in your sign but it's at odds with your ruler Uranus. This is why you feel restless, impulsive and rebellious! (Yikes.) Don't say anything you will later regret. Stay frosty.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

You have the feeling that you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. This will be to no avail, because it will be ugly and in the wrong size. Relax. Guard against kneejerk reactions when dealing with others.

YOU BORN TODAY: You are creative, charming and observant. You love to learn and are quick to perceive any situation. Service to others will be your theme this year. Focus on your personal responsibilities to family and yourself. Take care of yourself so you are a strong resource. Nurture relationships you value. Explore the arts, enroll in a class.
